Riz Gukgak and his bloody hands

SUCH a metal visual and motif. Kalina, Baron, they tease him for it, they twist it into one of his worst qualities, just as they belittle that he his heart, leverage his fear that he cannot love anyone enough.

Riz Gukgak loves. He will claw himself to shreds on love. He will dig through reality, lacerating himself on crystal, just to help his childhood friend. He will hiss at the devil, he will bite out eyes, he will do anything to help his friends feel safe. He will attempt to eat an entire dragon. Out of love for a father he barely knew.

"That’s you saying “I love you” to the people who matter to you the most."

Bruh Ace is so in denial about his crush on Yuu. Like he tries to flirt with them and then realizes what he's doing and immediately ruins it. It's okay pookie! Let your heart out, don't be afraid to let yourself go.

I suppose people seething about atheists, who claim that we only know how to criticize Christianity, want us to. What. Air our specific grievances with minority religions on a mostly Western platform, on main? Seriously? When you see us dancing around those details, it's often on purpose.

thank you cloverworks for my life

Thinking about how if Ace got to talk to Roger for just 5 minutes,he would realize that this man is the grown up version of his disastrous little brother Luffy and that would have fixed at least half of his daddy issues tbh

I just need to share my vision:

The albatrio finally reunite after their separate quests. They're so happy to be together. Everything is great. But Jay notices something is... well, odd about them. More odd than usual. She jokes to Chip, "what, did you two kiss again or something?" And again, she cannot stress enough that this was a JOKE. But Chip is turning 18 different shades of red and now she's intrigued because there's obviously a story.

"We kind of...got married?" Chip will squeak out.

"... and you didn't ask me to be your best woman?" She's a little offended.

"What? No, it's not like-- it wasn't a REAL wedding, it was just... Gill's goddess really likes marriage or something. She protects newlyweds? We had a big fight coming up and Gill's like, ordained for this kind of stuff, so we just sort of... you know? It seemed logical at the time."

"... ... you got married for TAX PURPOSES?"

"Battle purposes, yes," Chip says. "And we're both still alive so clearly it worked."

She stares at him. And then it dawns on her. "Oh my God and Gill doesn't believe in divorce--" She grabs Chip by the shoulders. "You got trapped in a marriage AGAIN. How does this keep happening to you?"

Gill walks by, blissfully unaware of the entire conversation, and cheerfully kisses Chip on the cheek like it's nothing. Chip discovers a new, 19th shade of red in which to turn.

Jay bursts into hysterical laughter. "Good to have you back, Jay!" Gillion says, and keeps walking.

I sat here scrolling Tumblr and then I heard my dad snoring on the other side of the wall.

And I've been making it a habit to consciously pay attention to the people I love, because I love them.

And so - I wasn't trying but this just came to me because of observations, and knowing, and perhaps the habit of it - I thought oh, that means he's sleeping.

Its the middle of the day. He does this sometimes. He's a very busy person, between two jobs, and 2-4 disabled kids. He takes power naps after lunch. He has a whole strategy. He's told it to me and I listened and I remembered because I love him.

He's also in burnout. My dad is burnt out and I understand because I am also burnt out. I wish I could help him but I am burnt out, and so all I can do is know him, is listen to him snoring and know that he is tired.

I get to listen to him snoring. He is tired. He is sleeping on the middle of the day because he is tired, from taking care of me, who am autistic, and my brother, with Prader-Willi Syndrome (shoutout to ppl with PWS), and his job 1 to pay the bills and job 2 to pay for the future and his wife and his other children and making sure we all get our enrichment.

And so he is snoring on the other side of the wall, and I can picture him tangled up in his blankets and sleeping because he is tired.

And so I get to listen to him snoring and think about all the things he does and how much he deserves rest, and how glad I am that he CAN rest, that he's worried and busy and anxious, but not too worried to sleep. Because he needs to sleep. And it's a blessing that he can do that.

And I'll sit here and appreciate him and all he does because I can hear him snoring (and it keeps everyone else up at night unless he uses his mouth guard, which we all call his snore-teeth, and I know this because I listen and I pay attention and I love him).

And he might never know that I sit here and think of him and love him and all he does, how grateful I am that he takes care of me when I'm his oldest and I'm autistic, and I don't feel overwhelmingly bad about that but I do wish I could help more than I do. Not be so big of a burden as I am. But all I can do is let him sleep.

He might never know that I take the time to listen to him snore. Maybe one of those days when he's feeling horrible I'll show it to him and say "you are loved and I see you and I am grateful for everything you do, I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you." Maybe I'll make bits of this post into my Father's Day letter. I've been wondering what to do for that because I've been more vocal lately about how much I love him and sometimes it feels like there's nothing left to put in a Father's Day letter that wouldn't just be the same.

There's something special in just the same, though. Like listening to snoring. There's time. And when you're sitting in the middle of time, in the quiet and the dark and listening to snoring, and wondering when the next snore is gonna come, and contemplating life and love and time - well, I'm not doing anything else. And I'm not getting any younger. And maybe right now I can't mentally DO anything else. But I can do this.

I can contemplate my father, who is wise and loving and who pours himself out constantly, fill my mind with MY DAD instead of something else, because I love him.

I lied. My first thought wasn't "oh, that means he's sleeping." Well, it was subconscious. But right after, I thought, "I wish I had someone to love this way," meaning that I want to get married and have someone to love.

But I do have someone to love. I have my father. I can love him. I DO love him. And why am I pining for something I can't have, or worse, for someONE I can't have, when my lovely beautiful Dad is right there loving me in his sleep, in his waking, in his working, in his eating, in his thoughts, in his research, in his everything. I have him? Why do I need anyone else?

I’m thinking about buying your book but before I do, are there a lot of scenes that give second hand embarrassment? I don’t know if that makes any sense but whenever social situations get awkward in books I just hide my head in my hands and flip past as fast as possible.

None that would have triggered my own second-hand embarrassment, readers feel free to weigh in

I genuinely do not think Investigations 2 meant to imply that Blaise was physically abusive but when you give me a guy saying "let's go home" and taking a single step towards his son only for that son to full body flinch I am going to draw some conclusions

the way that ten craves connection in the form of deep love and devotion so bad but how said love and devotion can only really be offered to him in the form of him being "human" (being in a romantic relationship and getting married and settling down) which is something he both can't provide and doesn't really want, because what he actually wants is to travel with someone and show them the stars forever and he can never have that for very long because they can't accept the form of connection he can offer them (in that they always want something from him that he can't give or find someone else more important than him). the way doctor who cooked up a guy with such a deeply aroace narrative in a lab, a guy who doesn't think he can fall in love even when his brain gets fried and turned into 1910s AI Generated Standard British Man, a guy who can't say i love you to the person that he was basically created to say i love you to. and then they had like 6 separate women kiss him bc david tennant hot

Was just given a bit of attitude about being aromantic by the only people I've told I am aromantic really trying not to hyperventilate here

[ace-n-mooch-daily]

Are Mooch & Ed rivals? Or at the very least Frenemies? (I get that vibe from them because of the train mission in the game)

I'm more interested in Ed & Mooch as a dirty couple rather than Ed & Ace.

i really do love that "well they're setting fire to constantinople. you can try to hide away with the hope..." is to the tune of "it's instanbul, not constantinople"
